CrimeaPRESS reports:

More than 1,200 people gathered in Victory Park to take part in the All-Russian Cross of Nations running day. The race took place in all regions of the country, making it the largest sporting event of the year. The event is being implemented within the framework of the regional project “Sport is the norm of life” of the national project “Demography”.

The All-Russian Running Day “Cross of Nations” has already become a traditional sporting event in the Hero City of Sevastopol, attracting residents of the legendary city to participate in sports. This is a unique competition where an amateur athlete can start together with a professional. People of any age can participate in the race. Because sport should be the norm of life for every resident– the press service quotes the head of the department for youth and sports Sergei Reznichenko.

Starts took place at six distances: 500 m, 1,000 m, 2,000 m, 3,000 m, 4,000 m and 6,000 m. The races were held for men and women of different age groups. The winners received cups and medals, and the result of the competition can be counted within the framework of the GTO standards.

I have been participating in the race since 2017. During this time, we have formed our own team, which is replenished every year — this is good news. More sports — a stronger nation! We hope that next year hundreds more Sevastopol residents will join our rankssays race participant Andrei.

Let us recall that for the first time the All-Russian Day of Running “Cross of Nations” was held in Sevastopol in 2014. Its main goal is to promote a healthy lifestyle and attract Russians, especially young people, to physical education.
